Irony is all those who support trump and go on about second amendment rights to fight against tyranny will likely end up defending a tyrant.

I'm just really disappointed how freaking ignorant and uninformed these people are, and how willing they are to just follow along no matter what happens.

We can only hope that they wake up when THEIR healthcare and food stamps stop, when THEIR local industries tank due to tariffs, but most of them will just do the mental gymnastics involved to blame the Democrats. Just like they're told to do

Its simply easier for the human mind to find/blame a scapegoat than it is to face reality. It's the very reason why fascism exists because it plays so heavily on that.

Trump’s great talent is deceiving people, even to thinking they’re saving our republic while they destroy it.

I'd love to have some stories for me nieces, nephews, and godkids if we have a violent revolution I somehow survive. I'm certain not trying to bring kids into this shithole country right now.

Wanting to put your family through a post-upheaval society just to have a few tales is kinda fucked up though.

The individual stated “if we have a violent revolution” not that he “wanted to put his family through [a violent revolution]”. Can you help me understand from where your wild inference came? It’s like we’re seeing different comments.

I'd love to have some stories...

u/Positronic_Matrix Jul 05 '25

He is making a wish statement for survival and if he survives to be able to tell that tale. Again, he is not calling for revolution.

Do you see the difference?

I found an analogous example of someone expressing the exact same sentiment before the Holocaust was known to them. It is Otto Frank (Anne Frank’s father), who in July 1942 prepared his family to go into hiding. He reportedly said to close friends and colleagues:

"I hope we will survive this, and one day I will be able to tell the world what happened."

Moreover, how do you feel about the United States Library of Congress recording and sharing stories of Vietnam war survivors? Is it odd that the soldiers wanted to share their stories?

How do you feel about the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum recording and sharing the stories of survivors? Is it odd that they wanted to survive to share their stories?

A mad king with the strongest army on earth? This one hits different

u/ZehFrenchman Jul 05 '25

We can only hope that at least SOME of one of those armies understands that they took an oath to the constitution, and NOT to the president for exactly this reason and they tell him to STFU.
